﻿// Textarea and select clone() bug workaround | Spencer Tipping  
// Licensed under the terms of the MIT source code license  

// Motivation.  
// jQuery's clone() method works in most cases, but it fails to copy the value of textareas and select elements. This patch replaces jQuery's clone() method with a wrapper that fills in the  
// values after the fact.  

// An interesting error case submitted by Piotr Przybył: If two <select> options had the same value, the clone() method would select the wrong one in the cloned box. The fix, suggested by Piotr  
// and implemented here, is to use the selectedIndex property on the <select> box itself rather than relying on jQuery's value-based val().
